DESCRIPTION
In this essay Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, notes that while Paradise awaits, "in the meantime we should draw all the good we can from this world." In that spirit Franklin recalls an incident from his youth when he bought a whistle. The consequences of that purchase helped Franklin draw lessons about how humankind overvalues many things.
